the army shadows are suitably subtle. even on the small version, they do not take over the map. are blue armies clearly distinguishable from scandinavian blue?
can u use internationally-recognised abbreviations for country names instead of made-up ones? below are links to both 2-letter and 3-letter iso codes. the 2-letter codes are in wider everyday use because of the internet, although the united nations uses the 3-letter codes.

lt is the official 2-letter iso code for lithuania, which is also on the map (
lt is, for example, used as the lithuanian internet top-level domain code, while
li is liechtenstein's equivalent).

bh: bahrain
mo: macao
sl: sierra leone
vc: saint vincent & the grenadines

if we renamed the balkan states continent as north balkans, then do u think everyone would be satisfied?
transcontinental has 6 territories, of which 3 are border territories. i think +5 (+4 and +1 motherland) is too high: classic africa also has 6 territories, of which 3 are border territories, and is only +3, without the benefit of a sub-bonus as a stepping-stone.
